Industrial All Risks

Machinery may break down, offices may flood, factories may burn down. What are the impacts, and how difficult will recovery be?

What is Industrial All Risks Insurance?

Essentially a property insurance policy, Industrial All Risks or IAR is an insurance policy that covers any loss or damage to your property. It is considered as a wider and more comprehensive cover than the traditional “fire” insurance.

What does Industrial All Risks Insurance cover?

An IAR policy covers practically all risks and perils on your property that a business may encounter during its operation. Unlike fire insurance, no named perils are needed for coverage. As each business has different demands and unique risks, it also allows extension coverage. Whether you are a small sized, medium sized, or large organization, the policy intends to you protect you financially from potential risks from unexpected accidents or natural disasters, based on the value of insured properties specified in the policy. Thus, it is recommended to keep an eye on valuations of buildings, stocks, machinery, fixtures, fittings and other contents to avoid complications in the event of a claim.

How important is Industrial All Risks Insurance?

Traditionally, businesses who are less willing to spend on insurance often only take out fire insurance. However, IAR covers and protects businesses’ risks in a more comprehensive manner and is more cost effective than fire insurance. Afterall, your business property allows your business to function and having broader protection from risks and perils is often a sensible decision. Hence, IAR can mitigate the losses far more than fire insurance, leaving more promise for recovery and a bigger peace of mind.
